Chapter 115 They Want to Harm You
"What's wrong?" Shen Yuanbai looked at Xiao Tangbao's worried expression and vaguely guessed something.
"They want to hurt you." Little Tangbao clenched his fists and waved them angrily, "Naughty!"
"How can these people be so evil!"
"They want to kill my brother and poison him!"
Hearing Xiao Tangbao say this, Qin Yunshuang's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Why does her child have such a miserable life?
"It's okay. Now that we know about it, we can be on guard in advance."
Little Sugar Baby nodded.
But she always felt that this was not enough.
She propped herself up, leaned over to the window and shouted a few times.
After a while, many cats and birds appeared outside the window.
"Don't fight, you guys. You can't fight recently." Little Tangbao said seriously, "I need you to help keep an eye on my brother's yard."
"If there are any strange people or strange bad smells, you must tell me immediately."
After hearing what Xiao Tangbao said, the cats and birds all called out a few times and then scattered.
Qin Yunshuang brought Xiao Tangbao to the yard and summoned all the servants inside and outside the yard.
"The Third Young Master has been feeling unwell recently. It is due to the conspiracy of a villain. Therefore, I ask you to watch this courtyard carefully every day and report any disturbance immediately."
"Especially the small kitchen, and the people in the Third Young Master's yard, you all have to keep a close eye on the Third Young Master's food and drink. You are all servants who have been indentured to the master's hands."
"If anyone does something to betray their master, I will never show mercy." Qin Yunshuang's face was serious.
Normally, everyone thought Qin Yunshuang was easy to talk to, and rarely saw her with such a serious expression, so they immediately agreed.
In the house of the second branch of the Shen family, several people were discussing carefully according to what Master Xu said.
"Dad, Master Xu said that as long as Shen Yuanbai dies and I can keep his soul for an hour, I can recover."
After hearing this, Shen Bailin frowned, "It's easy to kill Shen Yuanbai, but it's difficult to lock his soul in our hands as soon as possible."
Qin Hanyan thought for a long time, "My mother-in-law's birthday is next month. Otherwise, we can wait until then to make a move, and use the excuse that it's Old Madam Shen's birthday and she wants a few more grandchildren, and ask the people from the Shen family's main house to come over."
"Will this work?" Shen Fangcheng felt something was wrong as soon as he heard it.
His father was detained in a casino before, and they went to the eldest wife of the Shen family to ask for help, but they remained indifferent.
Moreover, after that incident, the relationship between the two families became strained. It would be difficult for them to agree to come to the old lady's birthday party.
"Oh, you know that my eldest brother has already had a quarrel with my mother. I regret it now. If I had been more cautious and not quarreled with the eldest brother so early, maybe we wouldn't have to live such a miserable life."
"Dad, it doesn't matter if we are confused. Anyway, we can live a good life without relying on them." Shen Fangcheng said with a smile.
Shen Ruyi suddenly said, "I think mother's method is feasible."
The eldest son of the Shen family values filial piety the most. This is his character in the novel, a paper man. Even if the plot is modified in the middle, the setting will not change.
Since he is filial, as long as Mrs. Shen is humble enough, there will be a chance to coax him to come.
"But the maidservant next to Grandmother has to deliver the invitations in person, and Grandmother has to think about what she can bring along that can prove their former mother-son relationship."
Hearing this, Shen Bailin's eyes lit up, "Okay, since Ruyi has said so, I will go and tell my mother."
After saying that, he went to the old lady's room.
After discussing the pros and cons with Old Lady Shen for a long time, she finally began to rummage through the box reluctantly.
She remembered clearly how she lost face at the gate of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion.
If her own son and grandson had not said so much this time, she would never bow to Shen Zongguang again.
Soon, she found a sachet. "This is what I gave to Shen Zongguang when he was little. He always thought I embroidered it, so he treasured it very much."
Mrs. Zhang, who was beside Old Lady Shen, smiled and nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, I still remember it. I embroidered it when I was free. You were disgusted with me because I embroidered the wrong pattern and wanted to throw it away. But when the eldest master came, you gave it to him. He was so happy."
Shen Bailin looked at the old sachet with disgust, "Why did you keep it? I thought you would keep something valuable that was related to him."
Old Madam Shen rolled her eyes at Shen Bolin and said, "Didn't I leave all the valuables to you, my biological son? How could I possibly give them to Shen Zongguang?"
"The reason I didn't lose it was that on my birthday, he put a gold lock inside it to show the bond between mother and son, and then gave it back to me."
When Shen Bolin heard about the gold lock, he became interested. "Where's the gold lock? He asked someone to give it to you. It should be very heavy and worth a lot of money, right?"
Old Lady Shen nodded and rolled her eyes at him again, "It's worth money. Otherwise, where do you think I got the money to redeem you at the casino? The gold lock is worth a lot of silver."
After hearing this, Shen Bailin was unhappy again, "I'm afraid that this sachet alone won't be enough to awaken his filial piety."
Old Mrs. Shen thought for a long time and took out a scroll of paintings from the bottom of the box.
When I opened it, I saw a picture of a crow kneeling to feed its lamb.
“Then add this.”
"What is this?" Shen Bailin was curious.
"This is a painting that Shen Zongguang asked a master to make as a token of filial piety. Since it is a work of a famous master, I thought it was worth some money, so I kept it."
After saying that, Old Lady Shen impatiently stuffed the scroll into Shen Bolin's arms and said, "That's all. I'm too lazy to look for it."
Shen Bailin nodded and looked at Mrs. Zhang, "Please go to the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion and tell them as I said at the beginning that they must come to the old lady's birthday banquet."
Hearing the word "birthday banquet", Mrs. Shen perked up again, "Now that our family has money, we can't be careless about the birthday banquet."
"Mom, don't worry." Shen Bailin walked out with Mrs. Zhang.
An hour later, Mrs. Zhang arrived at the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion in a carriage.
She stood at the door for a long time and finally waited for Shen Zongguang who came back from official business.
She followed Shen Bolin's instructions, and as soon as she saw Shen Zongguang, she knelt on the ground with tears and snot, holding the scroll and sachet in her hands.
"Young Master, please go back and see the old lady."
Shen Zongguang was stunned when he heard the title of "Young Master".
This was the title he used when he was young. Now everyone calls him Marquis or Old Master, and no one calls him Young Master anymore.
Seeing that it was the old woman beside Old Lady Shen, he frowned slightly.
Thinking of what Xiao Tangbao had told him not to have any contact with the second branch of the Shen family, he walked quickly into the house.
When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she quickly shouted, "Young Master, no matter what grudges you have with the Second Young Master, the old lady is still your mother after all, and you have been filial to her for many years."
"Next month is her birthday, and she's looking forward to you going there."
